Abstract
â¢A correspondence methodology tests for discrimination in apartment rentals.â¢Randomly assigned signals of single-motherhood or disability create two treatments.â¢Relative to the control, single-mothers receive 14.3% fewer responses.â¢Relative to the control, people signaling disability receive 12.5% fewer responses.
This paper attempts to improve our understanding of rental market experiences of single mothers and people with disabilities. Inquiry emails randomly assigned a signal of disability receive 12.5% fewer responses than control emails, and those signaling single-motherhood receive 14.3% fewer.
